KIWAMI

Regular price $208.00

The Kiwami is an outstanding rod from our partners at river peak in Japan. It is everything you would expect in a rod built for the Japanese Domestic Market. This rod is completely manufactured in Japan. It is more of a full flex rod. Some calling it a 6:4 action while others describing it as a 5:5. It casts a level line very accurately with very nice dampening characteristics. The rod is one of the lightest you will find in it's class with excellent balance and no noticeable tip heaviness! Overall this rod is one of the finest examples you will find from the birthplace of Tenkara, and at a very attractive price!

**** NEW KIWAMI HONRYU 450 IN STOCK***

Honryu fishing in Japan is defined as main stream fishing. More simply put as the mountain streams grow larger, at times so do the rods. Some rods in this length class have a hard time balancing the 3 F's. Form, function and feel! Not the Kiwami 450. This rod is at the top of class with the other few rods that manage to balance the 3 F's well. Nicely balanced in the hand for the length and surprisingly light. Described as 6:4 action. The rod was tested consistently landing fish around the 24" range. However gives up nothing in the fun department  fighting smaller fish.
